As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, ACORE has employed a nonpartisan strategy in our work - not just a bipartisan strategy, but a nonpartisan strategy. Our nonpartisan heritage puts ACORE in a unique position to address the key issue of the day, which is the political gridlock that has stopped the policy process in recent times.

The program will provide discussion of the key issues. Each panel will begin with a topical presentation, followed by a conservative point of view and a liberal point of view, followed by a moderated give-and-take discussion to identify points of agreement and disagreement. An ACORE conference co-chair will moderate the panel, and a second co-chair will serve to summarize.
